Phil Street (Florence, AL) After graduating from BHS,
I went to Wittenberg and graduated with a BS in Business. Joined the Air
Force and spent the next 6 1/2 yrs. flying as a navigator. Went to
Thailand and flew 100 missions over North Viet Nam. I went to England next
and spent 3 1/2 yrs in the RF4C in reconnaissance. While in the Air
Force, I managed to see most of the world traveling to Europe, Spain, Russia
and many other places throughout Europe and Southeast Asia. Left the Air
Force as a Captain. I resigned my
commission to join my father in Alabama and help start up a gray
iron foundry. From 1970 to the present I have been in
the foundry in varying capacities and have been the President for the last
23 years. I met my wife
Linda, a high school English teacher, in 1971. We were married in 1973.
We have been married for 36 years and had two boys Mark and Eric. Eric
has joined me in the foundry and at present is quality control manager.
He is married to Kristy and we have three wonderful grandchildren, Kaitlyn (11
years old), Kameron (8), and Kooper (1). Mark went to college and studied business but
is presently unemployed. I still work at
our foundry, but am slowing down some. I plan to work for a few more years as
long as my health holds out. |
